If you’re having trouble uploading new content to YouTube, you’re not alone, as Google has just confirmed an ongoing problem with uploads for both videos and Shorts.
YouTube sees a lot of new uploads every day, usually without any issues. But, right now, some creators are seeing problems with uploads getting stuck during the process. The two core issues that Google notes include uploads getting stuck “at 0%” and upload progress stopping during the “suitability” check.”
The problem affects both videos and Shorts, both on mobile devices and through the website on desktop.
